    Cool Techno Antiques

    Ok, aim of the game is to post "self snapped" photo's of what you own which may be considered as techno antiques. I'm just curious to see what hardware the MyGaming Community is holding on to!

    I'll start on a light note (to not give my age away) and post this picture I posted earlier today in another thread.

    Mint in box quality!

    Imation? You bastard. Dysan was the only way to go!!! I think they ended up getting bought up by Verbatim. Or they were always a brand of Verbatim's. Or something. /epicshrug

    I no longer have any antiquated parts or goodies lying around. Took up far too much space

    I probably still have a couple of 3.5" disks lying around. I used to have 5.25" floppies loaded with viruses, but I think I threw them out. (I used to collect them back in the DOS days... Stoned, Exe Bug and can't remember the rest).
    Then I still have a ZIP disc around here somewhere and I'm pretty sure I have DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 stiffies as well. Then I still have one stiffy with the Windows 95 boot disk on that I converted to Afrikaans using a Hex editor ... (No computer to boot it up with though)

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    Default Techno Antiques

    Last time I moved, I came across my st9 (now called gr11) disk from computer science class. It was a floppy disk, we only got hard drives in the machines when I was in matric. We used to boot from a floppy into DOS before that
